"We are applying for Hahn to be listed as a witness."

Benstone was not surprised by David's answer, and he immediately applied.

When a lawyer or prosecutor makes a list of evidence, he or she needs to search for communication on his own, and judge whether a person is valuable to be listed as a witness in the communication.

After being listed as a witness, the lawyer will help the witness to embellish his speech, practice cross-examination, and train the witness to be more convincing in court.

Obviously, David has already said this set of words to Benstone.

However, he did not directly include Hahn in the list of evidence, but pretended that new witnesses had been found at the scene and applied on the spot.

Its purpose is to take the other side by surprise, disrupt the opponent's deployment, and confuse the opponent's defense thinking.

"Against!"

Harvin's objection suddenly rang out.

"Why?"

Brooklyn asked.

In fact, combined with recent research on Hahn, Brooklyn does not believe that allowing Hahn to testify would be entirely detrimental to the defense.

Benstone is unlikely to get hold of Hahn.

Hahn's testimony in court is likely to bring variables to the prosecution of Dayou.

But judging from the fact that Harken provided the police with Curtis's target, it seems that he may also cooperate with the prosecution and directly crucify Curtis.

There are pros and cons to whether Hahn should be invited to testify in court.

Brooklyn likes to take risks, and if it were him, he might have made the same decision as Benstone.

What puzzles Brooklyn a little is that Benstone is a steady person, why did he make this choice?

Haven was hesitant and failed to give a clear reason for his objection.

Brooklyn immediately announced that Hahn had been added to the witness list.

"What about after the capture of Curtis? How is it interrogated? ”

"Against! Multiple questions! ”

Harvin's opposition rang out again.

"Objections are invalid! Go on. ”

Brooklyn looked warily at the dock. Benjamin was pulling Harvin, who was about to get up and continue his head, and whispered something.

How do you feel that Harvin has suddenly lost his level?

Although he wasn't good before, he occasionally made eye-catching operations, why did he suddenly mess up?

Brooklyn stared at the restless Harvin thoughtfully.

"After bringing Curtis back to the interrogation room, we just opened our mouths to ask a few questions, and Curtis voluntarily confessed to all the crimes."

David recounted

He accurately described the layout of each crime scene and gave details of each deceased. Based on this, we believe that he is an imitator. ”

"I'm done."

Benstone thanked David unhurriedly, nodded slightly at the jury bench, and walked slowly back to the plaintiff's bench. He even snorted softly as he passed Harvin.

Harvin was visibly enraged by the "hum", perhaps in his opinion it was contempt, a sign of Benstone's contempt for himself.

Brooklyn looked at the 'murderous' Harvin and shook his head.

In a trial, the client can not be calm and can be swayed by emotions, but the lawyer cannot.

Lawyers' emotional behavior is a big taboo!

You can show emotion, emotions should be a lawyer's combat tool, a means, not manipulated by emotions.

"Before the trial, did you read Miranda advice to my client to clarify his authority?"

Harvin asked menacingly.

"Of course, of course it was read out."

David was stunned for a moment, couldn't help but look at Brooklyn, and then replied.

"Is there any evidence to prove it?"

Harvin asked with a sneer

"Footage? Recording? Both. Have it? ”

"Of course, of course. Our interrogation was ......"

Before David could finish speaking, he was interrupted by Harvin.

"Is the lawyer there?"

David pursed his lips, suppressed his anger, and replied in a deep voice

"We have read the advice of Miranda, Curtis is clear about his authority......"

"You just have to answer yes or no." Haven interrupted again and asked aggressively, "Is the lawyer present?" Yes or no. ”

“Objection!”

Benstone stood up, his face not looking good.

"The purpose of questioning witnesses is not to establish the facts, but to cause a dispute with the witnesses"

Brooklyn's face was equally unsightly, but he still dismissed Benstone.

"Objections are invalid!"

"David Portman, please answer his question honestly and directly."

"Nope. The lawyer was not present. ”

David was so angry by Harvin that he held back for a long time before giving an answer.

"Hah! No! ”

Harvin scoffed and continued to ask

"Did my client voluntarily waive his right to hire a lawyer? Yes or no? ”

"No, he didn't give up."

"My client has not waived the right to hire a lawyer, so why don't you wait for the lawyer to appear before questioning?"

"It appears that the NYPD's trial process does not comply with the Procedural Notarization Act."

"Is there any credibility in the content of an interrogation that does not comply with the procedural notarization law?"

“Objection!”

"Ask yourself, answer yourself!"

Ben Stone pointed at Harvin and pulled his tie with the other hand, shouting at him.

"He's just sitting on the witness stand!"

Brooklyn almost burst out laughing as she looked at the tie that hadn't changed for a long time.

This fake anger was made for him to see.

He did not have to ask Brooklyn to rule that the objection was valid and to dismiss Harvin's question. Of course, if Brooklyn really decided that, it would be a surprise.

Ben Stone, an old prosecutor like Ben Stone, has never seen anything strange, how could he be angry with Harvin. He did this just to ask the judge to take a stand and show his presence.

Crying children have milk to eat, and this principle applies everywhere.

If Ben Stone didn't have a sense of presence, Brooklyn would have thought that Harvin's way of defending was within his tolerance, and even if there was something out of line, his silence would be a tacit acquiescence.

"The objection is invalid."

"Ben, I know you're there."

Brooklyn reassured Harvin.

"Harvin, please pay attention to your words and attitude, Officer David Portman is a witness, not a suspect, this is the courtroom, not the interrogation room."

"Also, I need to remind both the prosecution and the defense, and everyone who will appear in Court 9 in the future."

Brooklyn looked up at the camera in the spectator and warned solemnly

"Don't try to induce me to speak in my court by figuring out my intentions, preferences, emotional tendencies, and all other intimate topics."

"Otherwise, I'll let you know my feelings in court."

"You can continue, Harvin."

Harvin bit his lip like a deflated ball before he spoke.

"I don't have a problem anymore."

His state at this time is completely different from the impassioned and aggressive he was a few minutes ago.

"Is there anything else the prosecution needs to add?"

Brooklyn asked.

"Yes."

Ben Stone got up and came to David again, but facing the jury.

"I only have one question, David."

"Does the Procedural Notary Law stipulate that a lawyer must be present at the trial?"

"Nope."

David shook his head and replied.

"Thank you. I'm done. ”
